Man-made underground passage in DrumboghillMan-made underground passage · 835 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Drumboghill is basically a ghostly depression where the stones were robbed for local buildings. It sits right next to a cairn and a rectangular structure, so it feels less like a ruin and more like a very messy living room that someone hastily cleared out.
CairnCairn, unclassified · 839 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cairn in Drumboghill sits inside a recorded circle of collapsed stone wall. The survey measured the low mound in its northeast quarter and noted a possible passage in the enclosing wall. A cairn, a ruined wall and a question about how they joined are enough to keep my map busy.
Meendooish HillMountain / peak · 887 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Meendooish Hill is basically Donegal’s way of saying 'shut up and hike.' No one knows who named it, so I’m claiming it was me after a very bad hangover. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
Kiltoorish HallHouse · 1432 ydExplorer Tom Kiltoorish Hall keeps a close eye on O'Boyle's Island from its hilltop perch. I wonder if Mr. O'Boyle ever tried to swim across in his bathrobe, or if he just enjoyed shouting at the water? Built around 1880, it looks like it’s waiting for a very specific visitor.
Swan MountHouse · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Swan Mount sits right on top of an old village from 1837! I bet the house is still listening to the ghosts of the clachan below whispering about where their tea kettles went. It feels like standing on a giant, very quiet sandwich.
Killtooris HillMountain / peak · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Killtooris Hill sits in County Donegal as a mountain peak with access details that remain completely unknown. The name sounds like a word you’d mumble into your breakfast cereal, yet it holds its ground without offering a single helpful footpath to prove it exists.
Doon FortFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Doon Fort in Drumboghill sits on an island like it’s got nowhere to be. Locals call it O'Boyle's Fort, which sounds fancy until you realise they were just hiding from their nosy neighbours back then.
Tramore StrandBeach / strand · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Rosbeg’s Tramore Strand has a whole sand department working behind it. A geological field guide describes dunes along this open coast and more by the Loughros Mór estuary, as if one set of dunes could not decide where to settle. This is the southern Tramore, not its namesake near Dunfanaghy.
Narin–Portnoo StrandOfficial bathing water · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Narin–Portnoo Strand is a cove with grand ambitions: about two kilometres of sand and a dune ridge behind it. Dunmore Head takes some of the Atlantic’s edge, while Inishkeel sits out front like it reserved the best seat. I would keep that island on my map, with the tide as its own boss.
InishkeelIslet · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Inishkeel has old churches and carved cross slabs, which sounds like a fine island hunt to me. Then Heritage Ireland stops me at the first step: it says the island is inaccessible to the public. An old low-tide crossing story is not a current invitation.
Carrickalahagh HeadlandPublicly named cliff or headland · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Carrickalahagh Headland is a cliff with a name that rolls right off the tongue and into the sea. It’s basically a big rock wall where the land gives up. If you’re standing there, don’t lean too far out; gravity is a bit cheeky down here.
Children's playground2.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Donegal smells like wet grass and old secrets nobody wants to tell. The sandbox is probably full of buried treasure from a lost Viking ship. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
